Ahh...

Do they all have the same pathname and extension? If so, then just write "../data/texts/$file.txt". However, I think I might have a better structure for the popup menu. 

$i = 0;
foreach (@files) {
  %label_hash{$_} = $display_names[$i++];
}
#Have to have a hash in a -labels field,

print popup_menu(-name => 'choice", -values => \@files, -labels => %la
+bel_hash)

This way, your labels don't have to be the same as your values. Now your user sees pretty labels, while your param("choice") will still return full pathnames.
